The Presidency
Today, President El-Sisi received a phone call from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
The Spokesman for the Presidency, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy, said that the two sides affirmed their keenness to capitalize on the momentum bilateral relations have gained, which culminated in President El-Sisi’s visit to Madrid in February 2025, aimed at exploring broader prospects for cooperation in various fields, particularly economic, trade, and investment sectors, in line with the interests of the two friendly peoples.
The call also touched on the situation in the Palestinian territories. President El-Sisi and the Spanish prime minister unequivocally rejected the continued Israeli aggression on Gaza and attempts to displace Palestinians from their land. They emphasized the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire and the delivery of humanitarian aid.
President El-Sisi and the Spanish prime minister also reiterated the importance of enabling the implementation of the two-state solution by expanding recognition of the Palestinian state, while mobilizing support for the execution of the Arab-Islamic plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip without displacing its people.
The call also reviewed the situation in Syria, Lebanon, and Libya. The President and the Spanish prime minister reaffirmed the necessity of preserving the unity of these countries, their territorial integrity, and the security of their populations. They also confirmed the continuation of consultations and coordination between Egypt and Spain on various regional issues, in light of the important role played by both countries in restoring regional stability.
